Zwie - I thought Catalina would not run 32 bit apps, which Wineskin is (I think?)

When I went from Mojave --> Catalina my Wineskin-wrapped EQ stopped working.

It's not that Wineskin is 32-bit per se, it's that the application you are running - EQ - is 32-bit. WINE is a compatibility layer for 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications.

As Mac OS X Catalina is 64-bit only, you are SOL.


To be fair: This is not the only "64-bit only" OS - it's just the most common one that you can't add the 32-bit compat to: Debian amd64 out of the box won't run 32-bit apps - but a few minutes of web search will find you the commands to install 32-bit support.
